in 1994, switzerland's health care system resembled america's. medical insurance was voluntary, generally linked to employment. if you lost your job, you could lose your coverage, and many did. ruth dreifuss back then was health minister of the left- leaning social democratic party, and later the first female president of the swiss federation. she spearheaded a new law called lamal, or the sickness. it mandated that everybody buy insurance with the state paying for the poor. in return, it guaranteed a comprehensive package of medical care for all. amid opposition from drug companies and insurers the swiss voted in a referendum. >> the difference between "yes" and the "no" was a very tiny one, a very slight one. and the result was quite 50/50, just with a little bit more on the "yes" side so that the law was passed. >> reid: after that, insurance companies could not cherry pick the young and healthy to avoid the old and the sick. and they were not allowed to make a profit on basic care, although they could profit from supplemental policies. people

i would like to use a simple image that came from one of the french scientists who worked in america. he said from a laboratory bench in 1938, the discovery of fishing, to the end of the war in 1945, -- the discovery of fission, to the end of the war in 1945, that was a huge project, a process they had to go through. >> on the point that you both made of it becoming a military project and then wrapping up in terms of billions of dollars, billions of dollars in manpower, resources, money. was there any doubt from the point that it was conceived that they were building a weapon and a weapon that would be used? >> i do not think so. i think it was clear from the beginning. again, i want to emphasize, how much particular the scientists felt it was a race against nazi germany. someone said the notion of a third reich defended and power by atomic power for 1000 years was terrifying to everyone. >> james b. conant said to harvard students, "the worst possibility we face is not war, it is the complete victory of totalitarianism." i think it sums up the feeling of the scientists at that point
